Sydney Leroux scores a late goal in her 2023 debut, but the Red Stars score off of two set pieces in the first half and hold on to hand Angel City a 2-1 defeat.
LOS ANGELES — Approaching the halfway point of its second season, the Angel City Football Club remains a work in progress.
“We have to step up our competitiveness,” Angel City coach Freya Coombe said. “We have to be able to deal with moments right now.”After three consecutive road games , the return home didn’t seem to help in the early stages. Chicago, which had scored just two goals in the month of May, took advantage of a pair of set pieces and equaled last month’s total as Ava Cook converted both for a 2-0 lead before the 30-minute mark.
In the 88th minute, Leroux got on the end of an Alyssa Thompson cross and scored to make it 2-1. The goal was her first as a member of Angel City. She scored twice for the Orlando Pride before the trade last season. At the end of this game, video caught an emotional Leroux hugging her teammates.
